OldGardener said:No, not at all. When I uploaded my first image, I took Deb's suggestion (post 24 on this page - "I would also like to encourage folks to use the Comment section to begin a conversation about their particular image. A good starting spot would be to describe the site and soil conditions so us onlookers might glean some tips to apply to our own beds.) and added exposure, soil etc. information to my photo. As I have been looking at other image sets, I have noticed that some people are adding this information in the comment section but it sometimes gets lost among other threads in that same comment section. Part of the problem, I think, is that we all title our thread that gives this information something different. I was wondering if, when we upload an image set, if we could fill out a comment-type section then (optional, of course ) that would be displayed along with the photo and plant list - rather than a thread buried amongst other threads in that Image Set's comments section).

And, yes, I do appreciate not only the fact that Dave responds promptly and courteously, but he also listens open mindedly to ideas/suggestions/critiques of new features. I get so weary of the unnecessary personal attacks and rude comments on other social networks - it appears the anonymous factor tends to throw all civility out the window. I commented about this once to my son, noting how refreshing it is to have a polite discourse on various subjects on my garden site, and he looked at me rather askance and said, 'What do you expect, they're all gardeners...' Which I took as a huge collective complement for us all!
